Abstract (en)
Each of the tubes 16 of the tube thrust chamber 10 of a rocket engine has a hook portion at either end with the end at the outlet oriented substantially perpendicular to the rocket engine's center line and the end 42 at the inlet oriented vertically and bent outwardly away from the thrust chamber 10 and facing the outlet for fitting into apertures 46 formed in the outlet and inlet manifolds 20,22. The method of construction and assembly involves assembling the sub-assembly of the wedge ring 44 manifold 22 above the open ends 42 of the vertical portion of the tubes and lowering the assembled wedge ring/manifold so that each tube fits into complementary apertures 46 formed in the inlet manifold 22 and the wedge ring 44 tightly fits onto the outer periphery of the tubes, and then brazing this assembly in situ. A skirt 54 extends below the thrust chamber and includes a planar surface 56 for resting on ground to support the thrust chamber in an upright position. <MATH>
